Brewer's Whim Jack Daniel's Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout

Style: Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout

Description:

Barrel aged in authentic Jack Daniel's barrels for one year! An intensely flavor filled full-bodied dark strong ale. Full of roast, chocolate and dark malt flavor. A rich and complex aroma meets a sweet warming sensation for your taste buds. A moderate hop bill delivers a balance to what is already an intense flavor profile. Although a rather intense beer the ingredients meld together for a very enjoyable Imperial Stout.

Light Golden Color, hazy with a smooth mouth-feel, a healthy dose of adjuncts give a solid body to this beer. The malt character seems almost subdued because of the juicy hop swell that rushes past your tastebuds. Not overly bitter, just flavorful and aromatic hoppy goodness!

A light-bodied Wheat Ale with raspberry puree, straw color is met with the very slightest pinkish hue. Mild malt character and spices add to the delicate yet present raspberry flavor. Harmonious aromatics make for a delicate and slightly sweet fruit ale.

Style: Amber/Brown Ale Hybrid Description: Welcome your taste buds to a flavor explosion! This is an Amber-Brown Ale hybrid. It has a nice rich body and dark amber color. This was our latest whimsical take that our Brewers, Zack and Justin came up with. The idea was to take your favorite sweet potato cassarole from Thanksgiving and make it into a delicious beer. We loaded this treat with roasted sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and marshmallow topping! This big full flavored ale is being rolled out just in time as Autumn i at out doorstep.

Style: GoseDescription: The old world meets the new. A traditional style from Germany now Americanized and brewed in a relatively new style called Kettle Souring. A light straw color, unfiltered so a nice medium to full haze. A delightful sparkling tart and fruity tasting wheat ale. Slightly sour and tart with a refreshing coriander and salty finish. Quite refreshing at any time.

Brewer's Whim WNY SMaSH

Style: SMaSH BeerDescription: This Pale Ale presents the unique opportunity to experience local in its truest form. Using only hops and barley grown in our backyard we've realized all that New York has to offer. This bright golden ale combines subtle sweet grainy notes with a surprisingly crisp finish. The fruity and floral notes of the Nugget hops harmonize perfectly with the biscuity and cereal flavors of the malts. Mmm Home Sweet Home...

Style: DoppelbockDescription: Traditionally, German Monks would brew a Doppelbock to drink during Lent. This beer needed to strong and hearty because it was the only thing they consumed during this time. These monks were on to something. Meet CB Brewer’s Whim Doppelbock. A malt forward lager with distinctive notes of caramel and toast, balanced by sweet undertones of plums. Very little hop presence. A bit of warmth delivered by alcoholic strength.

Style: Belgian WitDescription: This delightfully deceiving garnet-brown Belgian wheat ale has the look like it should have a roast element but is completely absent of anything of that nature. Instead we have a big lemon-ginger nose that upon sipping you get a mouth feel that is full, round and smooth. Complex flavors of sweet malty bread that are quickly followed by layers of vibrant spices. We went way outside of the box of styles and are quite pleased by this one-of-a kind oxymoron we dubbed Dark Wit.

Style: BarleywineDescription: Full bodied malt forward American Barleywine. Rich caramel-orange hue with a fine aroma of orange blossoms, ripe fruits. Floats across the palate with layers of malty sweetness, honey, a touch of granola and a slight alcohol presence. Balancing out with a few American classic hops that gently deliver floral and spice characters, as well as a smooth lasting bitter finish. Truly a sipper at 10% abv. for those dark cold winter days of Western New York.

Style: Sour AleDescription: Knock the dust off an old barrel that had a blend of past CB beers and a bucket full of cherries that gently transformed for over 3 years. Once ripe this barrel was blended with fresh beer to create Old Saunter. A rust red sour ale with a sweet-mildly funky nose. A moderate acidity and notes of cherry that is backed by a distinct malt bready-sweetness. One of a kind sour ale that can appreciated by both novice and well experienced sour heads.

Brewer's Whim Bramble Weiss Raspberry Hefeweizen

Style: HefeweizenDescription: Strange ideas, curious combinations along with taking chances gave way for this beautiful non-traditional Weiss bier. With a malt bill that is over 50% Wheat, Unmalted Wheat and Torrefied Wheat we achieve a rigid frothy white cap that smells of a standard Hefeweizen, but the use of black raspberry in the fermenter provides a light hazy lilac color and a mildly sweet, sharp tartness. Bramble Weiss will certainly nourish your palate on the hottest of summer days.

Style: HefeweizenDescription:This hazy golden yellow German Wheat beer is sure to quench your thirst. A delicate banana aroma lays over a pronounced breadiness. Traditional with a twist, a small amount of flaked rye adds a subtle spicy layer over clove and tart sherry notes. Crisp, clean and refreshing just the right thing to make mowing the lawn that much better.
